On a post made by the Entity Magazine, it was stated that Angel Locsin has been reminding everyone to have more empathy when it comes to mental illness.
Angel Locsin's full statement reads: "We live in a world where some people sympathize with a broken arm or any body part but outrightly dismiss the fact of mental illness.
"We need to be more open and start looking at it the same way we look at any other illness. It's not just simply a weakness. It's not a moral shortcoming. It's not something people brought on themselves. It's a mental health condition wherein there's nothing to be ashamed of."
Obviously, Angel Locsin isn't just a lady who empowers women, but also a lady who raises awareness on the issues that are often ignored by a lot of people.
